In with the New Balance
Date: October 6, 2009 | Category: Fashion, Shoes
Your next hiking adventure just got greener! New Balance has introduced their first ‘green’ shoe, and we’re not just talking about color (though we do love that trendy apple shade). With rice husk rubber, water based adhesives and reduced impact synthetics, this trail shoe offers way more than good arch support. They’ve even left a little of the tissue paper out of the box.
For Loyal New Balance wearers there’s no need to fear, the 070 features a C-CAP midsole to provide the cushioning and support you’ve come to expect from a pair of NB’s. Both lightweight and durable, these kicks are perfect for a weekend hike or trip to the gym. Available at New Balance retailers or online for $70.

Cool. Has anyone ever seen rice husk rubber on a shoe before? How does its durability compare to ordinary rubber?
